Subject: [PATCH 4.17 62/70] media: rc: ensure input/lirc device can be opened after register

4.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sean Young <sean@...s.org>

commit d7832cd2a3c87eb6ae1e802c88b6fc56c5823f6d upstream.

Since commit cb84343fced1 ("media: lirc: do not call close() or open() on
unregistered devices") rc_open() will return -ENODEV if rcdev->registered
is false. Ensure this is set before we register the input device and the
lirc device, else we have a short window where the neither the lirc or
input device can be opened.

Fixes: cb84343fced1 ("media: lirc: do not call close() or open() on unregistered devices")
